Many research and international reports have shown that civic education at the school corresponds to a strong societal need and that citizen knowledge is taken care of by school disciplines. This research aimed to verify the contribution of physical education and sport (PSE) to the citizenship of middle school students. The analyzes include Official Texts (OT) governing PSE and practices of PSE teachers. The results show that PSE is a school discipline that promotes student citizenship in two complementary modes; on the one hand, the use of physical and sports activities (PSA) that implicitly carry civic values; on the other hand, the direct intervention of the teacher who translates his values into action.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
